Abstract
Considering the context of a rapidly changing work world together with the fragile post-pandemic economy, tensions of regional conflicts, nonlinear progression of climate change, and the unforeseeable development of new technologies, the "now" in which we live is becoming increasingly chaotic and unpredictable. The future is also impacted and remains dynamic in a constant state of change, where possibilities are elusive and strategic decision-making is fraught with uncertainty. Attempting to articulate this, the factors of brittle, anxious, nonlinear and incomprehensible (BANI) is becoming widely accepted as an expression that effectively describes and characterizes this state of change. In the context of work and HR development BANI expresses the impacts on people management in organizations for the identification and development of necessary skills and competencies for employees in the future. These challenges face both employers and employees in efforts to plan for the future, selecting the best possible areas of development. This presentation explores the integral role of motivation, creativity and innovation as core constructs for unlocking possibilities in achieving career success in this challenging BANI environment. From a psychological perspective, each of these competencies has the potential to contribute to employee well-being, success and performance in dynamic career contexts. With an integrated approach focusing on the synergies between these competencies, possibilities increase. By emphasizing the combined benefits of motivation, creativity and innovation in personal well-being, problem-solving, sustained excellence, and organizational growth, the presentation provides valuable insights for possible futures that can be shaped by motivation, creativity and innovation.
